I was diagnosed with a serious illness last year and had be taking it easy since then.
I've started looking for a new job and cannot get any interview calls?!
Heres my resume incase you folks want to roast it - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B0wDaysaq6Qs4unaOpZTPj5zqqm7gLVK/view?usp=sharing
Personally I have found the market to be quite good recently, at least based on my LinkedIn inbound.
Something that might help is to condense your resume to 1-2 pages. There's a lot of detail in your resume and it's quite difficult to understand it at a glance.
Other than that it can help to reach out directly to people at a company your interested in working through LinkedIn rather than applying through forms. Having a coffee or online chat can open doors.
Based on your experience I'm also assuming that you've got a considerable network. Can you reach out to people you've enjoyed working with in the past?

The faster you realize that, the faster you can move on and start your new career.
You spend decades refining your craft, then one fine day, its market value drops to zero. It is a damn shame, but the market is the market. Best of luck.

I will probably want to put in all the effort I can to evolve before I give up on tech! But the though has crossed my mind!

I don't think ageism is a big concern for where I am right now. I am basically 34 and have about 12 years of experience so might have 2-3 years of good work left in the industry before ageism starts to kick in I suppose!
I am in India(had to move back from the west - Canada because of my health issues) so goverment work is non existent!

This is so spot on!!
I can basically do Python, Java and Golang(and Haskell as well but no ones hiring for it)pretty well!!
